Revealed With Fire

Listen to the Audio

Here is today's communion meditation.

Last night for the 4th of July we had a campfire and while my kids were roasting marshmallows I began to think about how 1 Corinthians 3 says that our work will be tested and revealed with fire. 

Here is the passage from 1 Corinthians 3:10-14...

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

How are we going to build things that truly last in our lives? I think the key is finding what God has written about us in his book. Both David and Jesus said that their days were already written about in God's book. God has given us purpose and grace in Christ Jesus before time ever began. As we go about our day and make decisions on what to build with our lives a good question to ask is...God, is this something you wrote about me in your book? Whatever God has planned for our lives will be what truly lasts, but the things that are truly valuable are revealed with fire. The fire is good for them. 

As we take communion today let it be a reminder that we have a sure foundation in Jesus Christ, and because of him we can spend our time producing things that truly last and can go through the fire. 

I am praying for you.

Daniel
